A friend's visit to the Renwick Gallery at the Smithsonian Museum inspired me to do some virtual investigation into the current exhibition, "This Present Moment: Crafting a Better World." The Renwick Gallery's 50th Anniversary Acquisition campaign has focused on purchasing works by leading craft artists, and it has broadened the representation of women, Black, indigenous, Latinx, Asian American, and LGBTQIA+ creators in the museum's permanent collection. While it's no substitute for an in-person visit, the Renwick Gallery's website has excellent digital resources, and a range of options for searching it. The Art + Artists page is a great place to start.
Things I worked on this week:
The Outline Tee in Amano Awa
The Anemone Cowl in Murky Depths Dyework Harbour Singles
Sock #2 (no pattern) in Knitterly Things Vesper Sock
Romi Hill's 10th Annual Shawl MKAL in Malabrigo Sock
The Photography Shawl in Loch Lomond
The start of a new sample in a yarn we'll be introducing soon!
Some of these got more love than others, but all inched forward at least a little!
